All because of one debunked research paper fuck long ago. Damn did that do so much damage

Wouldn't that involve them causing autism to prove it does?

"I'm autistic because I was a test subject for a government op..."

bruh...

Honestly there is an even darker side to this.

There are parents who would rather see there kid die from a preventable disease than have Autism.

Exactly. Death is preferable. Wait until they claim that they cause homosexuality.

Plot twist: they scale up the study nationwide, offering free flu vaccines to anyone who "volunteers" for the study as long as they take an autism test before and after.

I never thought I'd have a gov that had a health dept that was determined to make me sick. I expect things to be occasionally suppressed, bias, and flawed studies but not a deliberate effort. It is like they put the Phillip Morris tobacco company in charge.

Next up, UFO conspiracists will determine if alien UFOs are real, Kennedy assassination conspiracists will review the Kennedy files.

I can't wait to find out his conclusion! Should we take bets?

I hope this is a situation like the documentaries made to prove flat earth that do the opposite

I don't see that happening unfortunately

RFK already fired someone for not publishing a paper showing vaccines cause Autism.
